기원과 역사
From Old English 'clud' meaning 'mass of rock, hill', from Proto-Germanic 'klutan-'. The sky sense replaced Old English 'wolcen' by the 13th century, from the resemblance of clouds to rocky masses. 'Cloud computing' dates from the 2000s.

The computing term 'cloud' came from network diagrams where the internet was represented as a fluffy cloud shape. Now 'the cloud' has become synonymous with online storage and services, though your data is actually stored in very physical data centres around the world.
